Implementation Reference

  • Tool registration for 'service_delete', including Zod input schema, formatted description, and handler that calls serviceService.deleteService
    createTool(
      "service_delete",
      formatToolDescription({
        type: 'API',
        description: "Delete a service from a project",
        bestFor: [
          "Removing unused services",
          "Cleaning up test services",
          "Project reorganization"
        ],
        notFor: [
          "Temporary service stoppage (use service_restart)",
          "Updating service configuration (use service_update)"
        ],
        relations: {
          prerequisites: ["service_list", "service_info"],
          alternatives: ["service_restart"],
          related: ["project_delete"]
        }
      }),
      {
        projectId: z.string().describe("ID of the project containing the service"),
        serviceId: z.string().describe("ID of the service to delete")
      },
      async ({ projectId, serviceId }) => {
        return serviceService.deleteService(projectId, serviceId);
      }
    ),
  • ServiceService.deleteService method: calls client.services.deleteService(serviceId) and handles response/error
    async deleteService(projectId: string, serviceId: string) {
      try {
        await this.client.services.deleteService(serviceId);
        return createSuccessResponse({
          text: `Service deleted successfully`
        });
      } catch (error) {
        return createErrorResponse(`Error deleting service: ${formatError(error)}`);
      }
    }
  • ServiceRepository.deleteService: executes GraphQL mutation to delete the service via Railway API
    async deleteService(serviceId: string): Promise<void> {
      await this.client.request<{ serviceDelete: boolean }>(`
        mutation serviceDelete($serviceId: String!) {
          serviceDelete(id: $serviceId)
        }
      `, { serviceId });
    }
